Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 44
KATHERINEMr Williams words replayed in my head and I swallowed the lump in my throat. Before I could react, Giorgio turned my face to his, and kissed me squarely on the lips. It was a brush of lips per se, but it left me flustered.This was the second time, he would kiss me. I released a hand on my glass and pressed on his chest. It helped to still my heartbeat, and make me realise that we weren’t alone.“Wow!” The sound of Mr Williams voice made me draw back. I found that I couldn’t look at anyone in the eyes. I was dying of embarrassment, or was it shyness? It was hard to figure it out. Giorgio pulled my hair behind my ears, and I gasped in shock.“Thanks, dad,” he said softly.Then, he rose to his feet, and both father and son had a firm handshake with a slap on the back. I couldn’t help to look at my family who were so quiet since the announcement. If I didn’t know better, I wouldn’t even think they were important part of the guests.Mom had a puzzled expression her face, and I

KATHERINEIt’s been a week, but it seemed like it was 10 years. Ok, maybe, I was exaggerating for a bit, but who cares. The fact of the matter was that this whole wedding procession was getting too much to handle. It was too intense.I was only grateful for the fact mother or any of my family members weren’t around to witness this, or I would be forced to act more than I had been doing already. I knew without a pinch of doubt that it would literally make me relapse into silence at some point, and that was not a good thing.“Turn around dear,” one of the women, I was thinking Mrs Isabel, a tailor, poked me with some needles and threads as she tried to find out how tiny my waist was.I had the urge to tell her to use the tape. It was faster, and more accurate. But, it seemed like she hadn’t gotten over the medieval way of doing things. Well, Mr Williams trusted her explicits with my wedding gown, and the other dresses I would be wearing in the marriage procession.Sometimes, I wondered
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 46
GIORGIOThere was something about Katherine, it was her spontaneity. But, right now, it was nonexistent. Did I care? Not a hoot!The only thing that was important to me was the subtlety we had to use to convince father about it all. Katherine had informed me that my passivity wasn’t helping her. The thing is that, I wasn’t exposed to the whole wedding celebrations, and dad wasn’t actually making it easier for me. He literally flunked Katherine with beauticians, designers and hair stylists. It was so crazy. If one didn’t know better, they would think that Katherine was getting married to him, and not me.At first, I was pissed by the whole thing, but slowly I started to realise that if I were to make dad see that I was madly in love with Katherine, I would like to whisk her off when no-one was around, he would come around. This must have been some sort of test for dad. I was slightly annoyed that I had not seen this earlier, and it took Katherine’s words for me to do so.This was my pl

KATHERINEI grabbed a hold of the teddy as I tossed and turned on my bed. Giorgio had successfully brought me home an hour ago, so all I was doing at the moment was lunging around. No, please correct that. I was simply wondering about his attitude this evening.Giorgio said one thing, and he did another thing. His actions and words were so contradictory. I agree we were acting for his father’s benefits, but I didn’t think it would look so real.I felt like he may have feelings for me. I mean, he went out of his way to get the teddy for me. It surely meant something at least.The question was what?I had no idea what could be the reasons for the actions. Jeez! What is wrong with me? I slammed the teddy bear to the other side of me. There was no reason for me to have these feelings. It would do no good. I had to remember that this was a loveless marriage.Giorgio didn’t care about me, and he never would till he died, so there was no use fawning over him. It was completely useless and det

KATHERINEMy eyes went round. That was so close. I have no idea what would have happened if we had hit her. The wedding be off, and we would be sitting behind bars were the safest options. I cringed inwardly, hoping that wouldn’t be the case.“Kitty, please sit tight. I would be right back,” Giorgio said firmly.Before I could ask him anything, he was already out of the car. I watched as he took her to the other side of the road, trying to explain things to her. I had no idea what those things curtailed, but hopefully it would be clarified.Her disposition had made it looked like an old woman when she had leaned into the car, but watching her from the safety of the car, made me feel like I had judged too quickly. She wasn’t actually a young lady, but she wasn’t old either.I bet she was just a couple of years above us. I sighed. This marriage had made me feel like I was getting old fast. I had no idea if that was a good thing or not. Yes, I was in college, but that didn’t mean that I

KATHERINEWas that not Phoebe?She was smiling at me, and I blushed scarlet, realising what this all meant. It meant she had seen it all. There was something about knowing that your best friend had watched you smooch another guy. It was a serious issue.I opened the door as I stepped out of the car, and onto the concrete slab. Phoebe was grinning at me, giving me knowing looks that made me slightly anxious, to say the least. What was up was up with her now?“I didn’t know you would be here,” I pointed out.She grinned as she looked at me. “I couldn’t miss your wedding. I know it’s tomorrow. But, today is the eve, and you know what they say about eves. It is unforgettable, and filled with such intense moments.” I laughed at the way she had said it. “Maybe,” I said easily.There was nothing unforgettable about today. Though, I couldn’t tell Phoebe that. As we talked at length, mother arrived with the family. I was stunned to see father on his feet. I know he had opened his eyes already

KATHERINE“Do you think we’ve adjusted the gown to her perfect fit?” The stylist queried her assistant beside me.It was 6:45 pm, and they were still fusing over things like this. I was slightly exhausted, but I dared not complain about the whole stuff. It was the norm for things like this to happen, so I figured I would go through with it all.“I’m sure it’s ok,” I said stiffly.The stylist rolled her eyes behind me. “Pardon me, madam. But, it’s my job to find this out. Your father-in-law would have my neck if I end up making you look like an idiot,” she said with a slight shiver.I rolled my eyes inwardly, but said nothing. I waited for another 10 minutes for her to be done prickling me with needles, and things I couldn’t get. It’s like she wanted to sew the damn cloth on my body. So weird, but I dare not say a word. I waited like an ice queen, careful to breathe well, so the dress wouldn’t be a nightmare to walk or move in.“Done,” she said at last. The excitement in her voice was
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 51
GIORGIOI have been having the worst night possible. It was a bit confusing because this was what I wanted. I wanted my inheritance back. I had imagined it countless times. I wanted everything to be in my grasp. I wanted the old man to realise he couldn’t cheat me of what belonged to me, yet I wasn’t satisfied.For some reason, I was anxious, and bitter about how things were going. And, seeing Katherine dance with these men didn’t make me feel better. She acted like this was where she was meant to be, and that annoyed me for so many reasons. I honestly didn’t understand her.I knew I had forced her into all these because of my inheritance issues, using her weakness as a pedestal, but she had blended into it all like a pro. It almost felt like she was enjoying this, and it made me more annoyed.I saw Mrs Greene talking to her. She didn’t look happy with what was being said. It was the first time that she had allowed her emotions to show at all, and I had no idea what I was going to do

KATHERINEA lot had happened in a few years, and I was more grateful than I ever thought I would be 2 years ago, and that was something. Everything about the situation gave me so much joy, and it made me feel as though I could tell that my life was about to make more meaning than it would ever have in the long run.“Are you ready?” A maid queried.I nodded. “I’m ready.”Pulling my hair backwards, I tried to give it a breezy look. I had no idea if it were working or not, but things were really looking up at this point. I felt like I was living my best life, and all. It was just amazing what things could do to one. A quick look at the matter showed that I was looking so good. I wanted to stare at myself for a long time, and not do anything, but a certain someone was waiting for me downstairs. I grabbed my purse by the wall stand and made a move to the other side of the room. There was only one thing that made sense right now, and that was the fact that I was happy with my life. Everyt

GIORGIOThe lights were all out, and there was so much excitement in the mansion. Father had invited a couple of dignitaries to celebrate I and Katherine. It felt like there was something in the air that was stifling my excitement. I just couldn’t handle too many things at once, and I was worried about so many things, and what was at the fore was that, I would not be able to find out the truth before everything actually gets destroyed.I turned around and noted that Katherine was busy with a few guests, and she seemed to be so happy. Just as I was about to look away, I caught a glimpse of Mrs Bianca as she walked quickly behind dad.I had a hunch to follow her, and I did the same. She was trying her best to move fast and remain hidden and I had to be fast on my feet. There was a lot of things that needed to be handled and there was little time for that. I just wish that everything was good at the moment, and there was no more stress.But, I couldn’t afford to give into wishful thinkin
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 121
GIORGIOI pulled my hands towards the side, but I couldn’t hold onto anyone. It was as thought I was all alone on the damn bed, and that didn’t make me feel better one bit. I wished there would have been a way to handle the issues, and Katherine wouldn’t have to be sad, and loose sleep because of me. It broke me into a billion pieces and that was saying something. I couldn’t just stand how uptight everything was at this point.“Katherine?” I called out.Was she that mad at me because I had not helped with the whole celebrations? I wish not because I had no idea what I was going to do if that were to be the case. The whole problems was getting out of hand, and I just had to be sure that she was fine, and she knew that I would be able to make her feel more better as time went on. This was what was more important to me.I opened the door to the bathroom, but she wasn’t there. What the hell was going on? She never got out at this time, and we always talked about random things and made sil

KATHERINEI had the best moments in life and I was really enjoying everything now with Giorgio being by my side and all. The tension with his dad was there, but still, he made sure that everything was good.I could see the efforts he was putting with helping me with things and so much more. I just couldn’t help but he happy for them all, and understand that this was my life now. Honestly, I have understood now that my life was meant to be this way from the scratch. I was meant to understand Giorgio and his excesses and be there for him at his weakest.Giorgio in turn helped me with bodyguards, and he was so kind as he made things clear to me. It was a moment of great reflection, and I was able to understand why things happened the way it did. It was for the good of us all, and I couldn’t change that for anything in the world.“Here,” Giorgio said softly. I turned lightly to him and noted that he was giving me an ice-cream. I pulled away from he balcony, and grabbed a couple of bites

GIORGIOI watched as Katherine’s father fidgeted lightly, and I could tell that he was majorly stressed up by the issue ongoing. There was so much stress around, but I really wanted to be there for sometime, and handle the problems that came up at all times. It was important to be able to get to the apex of the situation.“Dad, please answer us. Giorgio is right, there is something definitely wrong and we need to clarify the whole thing better so there would be no more problems. What is going on, dad?” Katherine stepped up.I looked at her and she nodded with her eyes, making me smile ever so lightly. Her dad finally heaved a sight, pulling our attention back to him. “The thing is, we have been receiving threats. It’s been so crazy and we don’t know how to handle half of the situations that cropped up. It is such a painful moment for us all, and things have to be handled better.” He said with a sight.I swallowed hard. “What threats?”He shook his head. “They are in form of letters,

GIORGIOThere were things that were moving too fast, and I could tell that there would be more trouble around. We’ve finally settled into the house, and there was a whole lot of things that had to be done when things when we caught father talking with someone, who had a sketchy attitude. I wished I could be able to find out exactly who the person was, but it was so hard to do.Katherine also tried to find the man who was with dad, but to no avail. I decided to do some private investigations while remaining true to myself. There was so many things that needed to be clarified at this point, and I had to handle everything like I had seen so far.I and Katherine tried to move on, though I kept my eyes on the situation, by asking some persons to investigate the man. They were people that I could trust. I didn’t like the way some of the issue came up. It was a pain for me, and I felt like everything was getting slightly destroyed, but I had no idea if I was paranoid or not.Then, one evenin

KATHERINEThere was something about Giorgio that had shifted since I agreed to come home with him a week ago. I have no idea if I was crazy, but he was also very persuasive. There was no way I could be able to ignore the whole feeling. I was so insanely aware of him, and I didn’t know if it were a good thing or a bad thing since he had done nothing, but cause me much grieve. I would have to find that out by myself though. I was willing to take a risk, irrespective of the repercussions to get where I needed to be.My hands lightly twisted in my hands as I waited for the horrors to go. Maybe, I was back home, but I wasn’t shielded from the horrors of Isabella’s death. Giorgio had advised me to stand strong and do all I had to do to get better. It was a difficult advice to follow through, considering how tense the whole situation could be.The door pulled open and cold air filtered through the room. I didn’t turn back to see. I honestly could careless n this situation what actually happe

GIORGIOI only knew one thing, and that was there were moments when things happened and we believe we could get better, and there were moments when we were completely devastated and we couldn’t pull ourselves together. I didn’t want my situation to be like the latter and I knew that I had to do everything I can to make sure that it doesn’t become the case. It seems like a hard pull to swallow, but I was going to try to be better, and get my wife back home. Phoebe had informed me that Katherine had gotten a new device. In order for their friendship not to get ruined by me, I did all I can, not to collect the new number from her. It would not be helpful, and I didn’t want that.Now, I knew where she lived, it would be best for me to go there on my own and check her out. I would be able to know what exactly is going on with that attitude of mine, and not blame anyone for what was happening. It was easy to apportion blame, but harder to admit that you fucked up big time.This was one of

KATHERINE“Don’t do that please.Don’t kill yourself! Don’t shoot… No!” I screamed.I felt as thought someone was shaking me and I opened my eyes in fright. Mother had her eyes tuned to me, and she was so nervous about everything that she was doing. I guess I was nervous too when I thought about it, and that made me feel some sort of way,“Mom?” I asked as though I was not sure of what I was seeing.“It’s the same nightmare again, right?” She asked softly.I smiled lightly and tried to look away, but she steered my gaze to her ever so lightly. Her eyes were filled with worry as hey looked on at me, and I was sad that I was the one that made it so. Though, I wished she wouldn’t try to come between Giorgio and I.“Answer me, dear,” she said softly.I shook my head. “It doesn’t matter mom. I haven’t been able to handle most of the situation and I don’t like that. Try to understand where I’m coming from right now. It would make me feel better if we could make things better for us, and not
